As only inconsequential un-intelligent life supports the earth I can understand your predisposition for your own kind.
However, you prove my point. The earth is riddled with the bones of far more, far larger, and far more exotic species that trod terra incognito long before Apes knew what bananas were. These fellow sophisticants, your obvious relatives, just didn't make the cut. The problem with your concern is the audacity that you, man, could extinguish ALL life on earth. The point that was being made, one obviously missed, was that even mans best efforts of trying to rid the globe of a few bugs, birds, and sleazeweazel would be as futile as trying to dam the ocean. How do you know we have diminished bio diversity...as compared to what? Diminished as compared to a period? Like 1920? 1020? 0? 10,000bc? 1,000,000 BC? Please provide your data for us to review. Because we know from geologic history that life was nearly completely extinguished utterly from the planet many times..yet.here we are. Somehow. Some dumb bit of goo, probably related to you, managed to ooze out of a hole in the ground and evolve. To assume that Man could be as destructive as an asteroid, super-volcano, or whatever God, or microbe you worship is ludicrous. Can I extinguish the yellow warbler? Yep. Guess what.in a few thousand years, they'll be an Orange one, and if we nuke ourselves into oblivion, it may have 3 legs and 5 eyes. But it will be here.taking a crap on your grave. Thankfully, God didn't suffer me the indignity to have had to evolve from goo. All Mayflower material here. The fact is.if you want to see the Salamander in a hundred years, you better get a few for the Smithsonian, because it's probably not going to make the cut. We'll display it next to you. _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, January 26, 2010 8:52 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Texascavers] Re: like fleas arguing over who owns the dogs back From: "SS" <[email protected]> If you want to be an environmentalist do so for mans sake. the earth could care less. It can wipe us out in the blink of an eye, and ten thousand years later you'd hardly find a trace we were ever here. Perhaps if Mr. Backtoschoolagin (sounds like an Armenian to me!) actually went back to school he would learn that the only reason the earth has an atmosphere capable of supporting so called "higher" life is because of the seemingly inconsequential actions of nearly invisible tiny little blue green life forms (baby aliens). Mr. B was presumably homeschooled, so rather than trust those government run tax supported commie pinko scientists I suggest he try Mr. G's experiment; but please, be rigorous, shove a towel underneath the door and duct tape the cracks around the windows. When you get to heaven be sure to send us a report. As for all trace of us disappearing in ten thousand years, that's heresy! Every red blooded god fearing American knows that even caves are no more than 6000 years old! But wait, if the earth is going to shrug us off every ten thousand years or so it seems that Mr. B is actually some kind of pagan Gaia worshiper. She is obviously getting angry, so you better start building that boat Mr B! The good new is that we have so diminished biodiversity that two of each will fit. No more problems with the dinosaurs like Noah <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letters_from_the_Earth> had! Sleazeweazel
